Tides Change.



44 days ago I would have never thought that there would be good news to share. I guess in time of great despair you hope for the best while the vision before you conveys the opposite. Through prayer and positive thinking a blessing came unto us.

After 44 days my sister woke up. This was the best news we could have received after anxiously waiting for news of improvement. At a time when I had lost hope, my faith was renewed and my prayers had been answered. This moment showed us that when we want something so bad, do not give up home and faith. While it took 44 days for our prayers to be answered, the lesson learned from this is that you don't stop believing in the Lord because he will answer your prayers in time. What it taught us that it takes times time to carve a miracle. It takes time for God to anwer your prayers despite how hard you may pray and how long you are on your knees. He doesn't act instantaneoulsy. He waits and acts in good measure to deliver what you ask for and inevitably, change the course of the tide before you. His word is proclaimed.

These 44 days felt like my worst day dream. I was awake through the course of it all; shifting between work and the hospital to watch over and hold vigil by her bedside. So many people around the world heard our story and prayers flooded in day and night from all corners of the world. And we were never more appreciative. Through strength in numbers when prayers were needed, and our family needed to be held up, there were people outstretching their hands to us. Fasting, praying and the holding the Lord to his word never meant more to us than through these last 44 days. We continue to fast, pray and hold vigil by her bedside but instead of praying for her to wake up, we now pray for the strength to guide her through this time as she begins to go through rehab and as she gain use of her senses and her full body.

After 44 days we continue to thank God for his deliverance and work. We are grateful for his works and compassion on our sister, and his daughter. The tide changed after 44 days and we pray and continue to thank him for his miracles.

You Broke Me

You. You played your part. But, I also played mine too. I never realized that my time was running out, until you pulled the rug from under me. Until I realized that there was no going back. There was a time when I would call, and even if you didn't answer, I knew you would call back. Now, I deleted your number, erased most of the emails we shared, and despite how I hate you, I still have that stupid picture from our time in Vegas. I was stupid. You made me stupid. I believed you and yet, you broke up. You broke me and I never truly healed. I have tried to move on, and have had somewhat of a decent experience of getting over you. But when you creep into my life in ways that make you almost undetectable, I feel you. I see you. I see it there in plain sight. You went on with your life. Married. Wife. Kid and the dog. You gave her what you had once upon a time promised me. Life. You broke me. But one day, I will be alright.
